I have a project. How can i-Care LAB Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes help me?
i-Care LAB works on 3 key segments of healthcare solution development:
- Identification/Definition/Ideation: Using immersion, design thinking and rapid prototyping methods, we support you in exploring healthcare issues, targeting challenges and stabilizing possible solutions;
- Experimentation: The proof of concept of your solution is underway or completed. You want to test your solution in real-life situations and adapt it before bringing it to market and putting it into production? i-Care LAB helps you test your proposal by coordinating and mobilizing the various stakeholders throughout the research and innovation process. We will work with you and our partners in living lab santé mode, to ensure the experimental deployment of your solution;
- Valorisation: Thanks to our presence in the healthcare network and our partnerships with committed organizations, we mobilize for regional projects that have a significant and innovative impact on healthcare. Through specific actions such as trade shows and conferences in France and abroad, we enable you to highlight the experiential value of your solution in the healthcare environment. More than just promoting a product, i-Care LAB helps you present innovative solutions in situ, seeking to reinforce the value of use and benefits for healthcare organizations and/or users.
